Step 1

Tape off a square on your graduation cap by lining up the edge of the tape with the edge of the cap on all four sides.

Step 2

Paint the inside of the square with Cobalt Blue multi-surface paint, then add the lighter Crisp Blue to create an interesting background for your flowers. Let dry.

Step 3

Hot glue sunflowers to the middle of the cap, around the button.
TIP: Be sure to leave access to the button so you can loop on your tassel!
